After a decade of sub-par performance, the Japanese economy remains in the doldrums. Now, after a decade of extraordinarily strong performance, the United States economy is slowing. The ability of the world's two largest economies to re-establish strong growth is of critical importance to themselves and to the world as a whole. Trade frictions between the United States and Japan have remained muted in recent years but rising unemployment in the United States will lead to renewed attention to trade issues. Japan will feature prominently. The bilateral trade agenda is increasingly moving beyond the traditional border impediment issues, however, toward the more politically sensitive issues of internal regulation and deregulation. In the past, security concerns have mitigated trade tensions but the end of the Cold War has undercut a primary justification for the United States-Japan security alliance, in turn requiring a rebalancing of economic, diplomatic, and security priorities. This volume analyzes the US and Japanese economies; their trade and financial relationships; and their roles in the provision of international public goods such as development assistance, environmental protection, and international security.

(Globalization reigns supreme as a description of recent e...)
Globalization reigns supreme as a description of recent economic transformation - and it carries many meanings. In the policy realm, the orthodox terms of engagement have been enshrined in the "Washington consensus". But disappointing results in Latin America and transitional economies - plus the Asian financial crisis - have shaken the faith in Washington and elsewhere. One response has been to hearken back to the more statist policies that the consensus marginalised. In this regard, Japan, Korea and Taiwan are promoted as the poster nations that have derived great benefits from increasing integration with the international economy, without surrendering national autonomy in the economic or cultural spheres, effectively beating the West at its own game. The fundamental questions addressed in this monograph are whether industrial policy was indeed a major source of growth in these three economies, and if so, can it be replicated under current institutional arrangements, and if so, is it worth replicating, or, would developing countries be better off embracing the suitably refined orthodoxy?
